Do you wake up early or late?
If you usually wake up late, try waking up early in the morning for several days. Not just wake up, but get out of your bed and wash your face.
You will discover that the early morning hours are so peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. It is so peaceful outside and inside the house.
There is a pleasant calmness. No kids yelling, and no loud noises. Just a few cars are moving outside, and no errands are yet to be done. You have the time completely for yourself, which you can use to meditate, think, read, write, walk, or do anything you like, with no one to disturb or distract you.
- Early in the morning is a great time to enjoy the peace before starting your day.
- It is a time you can enjoy peace and some free time for yourself, doing what you love doing.
Are you afraid you might be tired during the day if you get up earlier? Then go a little earlier to sleep at night.
Try to get up just 10 minutes earlier for a few days. Then, extend the time to 20 minutes. The pleasure and benefits you will get when you wake up earlier will fill you with energy and a sense of power.
Getting up earlier will also free you from the rush of the morning. You will have the time to prepare to go to work comfortably and without getting nervous or impatient.
Having the time in the morning to exercise a little, eat, read, or meditate will affect your whole day, putting you into a positive, calm, and happy mood. There might be inner resistance to getting up early, but if you persevere with this habit, the resistance and difficulty will disappear after some time.
Enjoy the Peace of the morning
You will find the morning peace so pleasant and relaxing, but it will also supply you with energy for the day ahead.
You can also arrange your time so that you can eat breakfast and drink a cup of coffee quietly and with no rush.
Soaking yourself with the peace and quietude of the morning will affect your entire day, making you more focused, alive, happy, kind, and peaceful.
Always remind yourself that when you get up early, you enjoy the morning peace and have some free time for yourself!
- Open a window or get out for a few minutes and enjoy the fresh air of the morning.
- Look at the beautiful sky and the clouds.
- Listen to a song or two that you like.
- Read a chapter from your favorite book.
- Meditate for a few minutes.
- Sit down on your terrace, near the window, or in the kitchen, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.
- If you are “adventurous”, go out for a short walk.
You can do many things early in the morning while everyone else at your home still sleeps. It is your “me time”.
